General Shidan quickly led his troops to their camp. In the Victoria Forest, the conflict started by the Underworld creatures became more and more serious.

Though General Shidan wanted to lead his army and kill those Underworld creatures, his aides persuaded him not to.

“General! We don’t know the situation in Victoria City. If we enter the forest, we could fall into the trap of the Underworld creatures. We should retreat to Goldshire Town and send out our scouts before making any decision.”

Most of his aides had this thought. After careful consideration, General Shidan decided to listen to his aides. He led the troops and retreated to the vicinity of Goldshire Town.

Then he deployed his scouts to collect information. Since the Underworld creatures had appeared at the boundary of Victoria Forest, General Shidan believed that Victoria City had fallen. It was hard to believe that the Victorians could hold their line in that situation.

The information collected by the scouts was much simpler than General Shidan thought. There were a few Victorians in Goldshire Town. The information provided by them gave General Shidan a shock.

The Victorians in Goldshire Town already knew General Shidan was coming. When the scouts of General Shidan came close, the residents of Goldshire Town surrounded them.

The residents of Goldshire Town were nervous. They were the citizens of Duke Guinevere in name, as the previous Duke of York was defeated by Victoria City, and the York Territory belonged to Victoria City. Now, a large army of the Godly Kingdom appeared, and the residents felt uneasy.

Previously, the army of the Godly Kingdom left, but they returned very soon. The residents of Goldshire Town prepared their weapons just in case.

However, the Victorians were very excited. When they saw General Shidan’s army, they leaped in joy and charged forward.

The residents of Goldshire Town were shocked, but it wasn’t the first time they witnessed the wild behavior of the Victorians.

When the Wyvern appeared and attacked the passersby of Goldshire Town, the Victorians started hunting the Wyvern. However, many of them became food for the creature.

General Shidan wasn’t wary of the Victorians who charged over. He sent an emissary to deal with them.

“Why are you here in Goldshire Town?”

“Aren’t you here to deal with Eternal Kingdom?”

“Do you have any equipment to spare? I died a few times while fighting those Eternal pigs and lost two sets of equipment. Please spare me some equipment!”

The Victorians started shouting as they moved closer.

The Victorians already knew why the army of the Godly Kingdom was there. They weren’t puzzled by the army coming from Victoria Forest.

General Shidan guessed that the survivors of the previous battle spread the news of his arrival.

But that was too fast.

Though General Shidan thought that it was incredible, he could only explain it this way. General Shidan felt embarrassed. After all, he abandoned the Victorians and fled. Instead, the Victorians were valiant. They charged against the Underworld creatures while shouting, “Leave quickly! We’ll cover your retreat!”

The valiant, self-sacrificing Victorians were a stark contrast to the cowardly army of General Shidan.

The face of General Shidan became red, and the Knights beside him felt embarrassed.

The Victorians didn’t know about General Shidan’s retreat. They welcomed General Shidan’s arrival.

General Shidan finally understood what happened.

Since Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom started the war, the offensive initiative was with Eternal Kingdom. The quality of their warriors and equipment was superior to that of the Victorians. Moreover, the gamers of Victoria City had to stay in the crossroad intersection outpost for a longer duration, so they were unable to stop the gamers of Eternal Kingdom from entering the Surface World. Why should the Victorians stop the gamers of Eternal Kingdom from coming to the Surface World?

They wanted the gamers of Eternal Kingdom to come to the Surface World so that the gamers of Eternal Kingdom would be far away from their Revival Point.

The gamers of Eternal Kingdom wanted to conquer Victoria City, but it wasn’t an easy feat. Lilo, the three Hamsters, Lancelot, and a large number of gamers were stationed in Victoria City. The gamers of Eternal Kingdom could only create trouble in the surrounding forest.

The skirmishes between Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom continued until the arrival of the army of the Godly Kingdom.

TakeASpearHit spread the news of the arrival of the Godly Kingdom’s army on the discussion forum. That was why the gamers of Eternal Kingdom were able to ambush them quickly.

The arrival of the Godly Kingdom’s army was the turning point. If the army was able to join Victoria City, it was good news for both Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City.

The Victorians didn’t expect the Godly Kingdom’s army to conquer Eternal Kingdom. They were after the supplies and materials brought by the Godly Kingdom. Once the warriors of the Godly Kingdom perished, the equipment would belong to the gamers!

That was what the gamers of Eternal Kingdom thought too.

All of the gamers felt that the Godly Kingdom had sent them equipment. They were very welcoming towards the arrival of these NPCs.

General Shidan didn’t know how the gamers viewed him and his army. He was listening intently to the intelligence report of Victoria City.

The conclusion was that Victoria City hadn’t fallen!

Then they couldn’t ignore the existence of Victoria City.
